Prophecy IRST, I turned to Station WIBG, St. Paul’s Church, Elkins Park, Pa. A man had just finished speaking, and it was announced that his wife would continue the program. Whom did I find these two people to be but my classmate, Virginia Bailey, and her husband. I found they had been sent away as foreign missionaries by the Church of the Holy Rollers and had returned to the United States for only a few weeks to raise money for further extension of their work. Second, I turned to station KMOX, Voice of St. Louis, St. Louis, Mo. I tuned in amidst a speech of a real woman speaker, who had run for the U. S. Senate but had been defeated. This was my friend and classmate, Kathryn Weaver. Tonight she was speaking in behalf of the Society for the Protection of Home¬ less Cats. Third, I turned to station WRVA, Richmond, Va. The winners of a recent sewing contest were being announced. Mary Hawkins, a mem¬ ber of the class of ' 30, being one of them, was called on to make a speech before the club. In listening to this speech 1 found that Mary’s giggles had gone with the years, and that she had changed in many respects. I have only one charge to bring against her. That is, she still insists on serving “Wine.” I fear if she continues this much longer she will become seriously intoxicated and lose her good name, Hawkins. Fourth, I turned to station WGL, International Broadcasting Corporation, New York, N. Y. 1 tuned in just in time to hear the farewells of a large audience to a great singer who had been singing for station WGL for quite a while, and was giving her farewell broadcast program. Who was this great singer? None other than my old classmate, Avis Cline. Find¬ ing city life a bore, she had decided to give up radio broadcasting and to continue her life work in the Sahara Desert as a keeper of a watering station for camels. Fifth, 1 turned to station WHAP, Defenders of Truth Society, Inc., New York, N. Y. There, in a great cathedral, I heard a minister addressing a great congregation. The words of wisdom and truth that I could hear so well sounded strangely familiar, and 1 racked my brain trying to think where I had heard the voice. Suddenly it came to me! This great minister who swayed thousands was Tracy Wine, the bashful boy of the class of ’30. Sixth, 1 turned to station WABC, New York. The results of the last game of the World Series were just being given. I listened, and heard, to my great surprise, that an old classmate of ’30 had pitched the team to victory over the Chicago Cubs. To add to his victories, he knocked a home run in the last inning. Have you already guessed? It was Hugh Sutton. Seventh, I turned to station WBC, Washington, D. C. I found that Russell McAllister, the business man of the senior class of ’30, had con¬ tinued his hard work throughout these nineteen years, as he did in the class of ’30. Now I find him in his tenth year of soap-box speeches made in defense of the Republican party. Eighth, I turned to station WBAK, Pennsylvania State Police Station, Harrisburg, Pa. I tuned in amidst a great uproar. Two policemen were accusing each other of putting a man in the asylum who wasn’t crazy. This seemed rather interesting to me, as I hadn’t heard anything like it before. So I decided to wait to hear the final decision. 1 found that Ken¬ neth Cleveland, one of our class of ’30, had been confined in an asylum. He had gone to town, where he was not known, and had been taken up, but afterwards released, when it was found that he was not dangerous, only funny. Ninth, I turned to station KFMB, Hollywood, California. I was just in time to get the theatre announcements for the following week. The an¬ nouncer was describing an actor who had made a great hit with the women because of his handsome face and ready smile, and who was to play the leading part in a picture the fol¬ lowing night. I continued to listen, eager to hear his name. I was both surprised and glad to hear the name, Russell Wilberger. Tenth, I turned to station WCGU, Coney Island, N. Y. I found that Barnum’s Circus was to be held in town the following week, and the main features of the week ' s performances were being broadcast. I found one of my classmates, Paul Cleveland, had become the most successful trainer of monkeys at this time. He had successfully trained a number of them in the art of throwing eggs and never missing their aim. Ding-a-ling? Oh! there’s the phone. “Hello—this is Janet—yes, Janet Moore. What? The National Broadcasting Company at New York wants me to accompany Rudy Valee on the piano tomorrow night ? Well, you bet—I’ll be there all right. Toodle do.” Thus the evening ended. —Janet Moore.
